    It is still a wonder of nature though that they appear the exact same size in our sky, allowing perfect eclipses

      It’s a happy coincidence that we get to experience both total and annular solar eclipses. It wasn’t always so, and it won’t always be so. There was a first annular eclipse, and there will be a final total eclipse.
